Prompt

Anime-style illustration of an original character: {{character}}, wearing {{outfit}}, {{pose}}, set against {{background}}. Full-body three-quarter view with a dynamic yet readable silhouette, expressive large eyes with detailed reflective highlights, clean confident line art, cel shading with crisp two-tone shadows and a soft gradient rim light, {{palette}} color palette, wind-blown hair strands and natural fabric folds. Modern Japanese TV-anime key visual aesthetic, polished details, gentle depth of field on the background, original character design not based on any existing franchise, no text, no logo, no watermark --ar {{ratio}}

How to use it

  • --ar sets the ratio in Midjourney (2:3 works best for full-body characters). In other tools, delete it and pick the format in the interface.
  • In Midjourney you can add --niji 6 at the end to use its anime-focused model.
  • For a character sheet, replace the pose with character turnaround sheet, front, side and back views.
  • Do not mention existing characters or series: the goal is an original design.

Usage example

Character: a cheerful courier girl with a short silver bob and a bandage on her cheek · Outfit: an oversized yellow raincoat with reflective stripes · Background: a rainy neon-lit street.
